"We are really looking forward to this events as it is about two years since we held our last one because of the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions.
"These events are generally a sell-out as people get to meet their favourite authors.
"We have already booked another for February, called Love Reading, which will not surprisingly be based on romantic fiction.
"Admission to the Festive Fiction event is £8 and people can book a place by calling the museum on 01543 877666."
